Description

Preparation method of quick-frozen soda bread
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of frozen foods, in particular to a preparation method of quick-frozen soda bread.
Background
In recent years, the baking industry has developed a frozen dough technology, which is characterized in that the early stage of bread production is completed in a factory, the formed dough is then rapidly frozen, and the frozen dough is distributed to various stores through a cold chain logistics and is placed in a refrigerator for freezing and preservation. According to the actual needs of the store, the dough is taken out at any time, thawed and baked, so that customers can eat soft and delicious fresh bread at any time.
The main raw materials of the soda bread are flour, water, salt and yeast, and high-calorie flavoring agents such as sugar, milk powder, cream and the like are not added usually, so that the soda bread is a healthy and delicious snack and is popular with people. However, in order to ensure the soft mouthfeel of the instant alkali bread, a baker usually needs to do baking at present, the existing frozen dough technology is difficult to be directly applied to the instant alkali bread, and no relevant report on making quick-frozen alkali bread exists at present.
Disclosure of Invention
The application provides a preparation method of quick-frozen soda water bread, which can prepare frozen soda water dough with soft mouth feeling and convenient cold chain transportation.
The application provides a preparation method of quick-frozen soda water bread, which adopts the following technical scheme:
a preparation method of quick-frozen soda bread comprises the following steps:
step one, uniformly stirring edible salt, water, bread flour, yeast and other bread modifiers according to the formula ratio to prepare a primary dough;
step two, dividing the primary dough prepared in the step one into a plurality of parts, covering a preservative film on the surface, and standing until the dough is loosened to obtain a raw blank dough;
step three, performing proofing on the green dough prepared in the step two;
fourthly, placing the raw dough into a freezer, and freezing and storing the raw dough in an instant intermittent method until the raw dough is completely solidified to obtain frozen dough;
step five, uniformly spraying a layer of alkaline water on the surface of the frozen dough prepared in the step four;
sixthly, cutting a knife edge on the surface of the frozen dough sprayed with the alkaline water, and baking in an oven to obtain bread dough;
and step seven, taking the bread dough prepared in the step six out for natural cooling, sending the bread dough into a quick freezing warehouse for freezing, and packaging when the central temperature of the bread dough reaches less than or equal to minus 3 ℃ to prepare the quick-frozen soda water bread.
By adopting the technical scheme, the raw materials in the formula amount are stirred and uniformly mixed to obtain the primary dough with uniformly dispersed raw materials, so that the equal-amount segmentation is facilitated; the surface of the divided dough is covered with a preservative film subsequently, so that the loss of water during the standing of the dough can be reduced, and a relatively stable growth environment can be provided for the yeast in the raw materials; the standing treatment is carried out on the basis of the cover film, so that the gluten is generated by the primary dough, the buffer time is provided for the yeast to adapt to a new environment (dough), the proofing effect of the green dough is improved, and the soda bread with softer taste is obtained.
The small bubbles are generally uniformly distributed in the proofed embryo dough, because the yeast in the embryo dough decomposes starch to generate carbon dioxide, so that the embryo dough becomes loose, at the moment, the loose embryo dough is directly frozen and shaped, the hardened dough is used as a container to lock the carbon dioxide generated by proofing the dough, and the prepared frozen dough is kept in a loose state.
Wherein, the water content in the fermented raw embryo dough is high and the structure is loose, if the fermented raw embryo dough is directly frozen, carbon dioxide gas in the raw embryo dough can be cooled and shrunk or dissipated to the outside of the dough, so that the internal structure of the raw embryo dough is adhered due to collapse, and the mouthfeel of the bread is influenced. In addition, the mechanical performance of gluten in the dough tends to decline along with the continuous decline of the freezing storage temperature, the permeability of the gluten is gradually increased, and the mechanical performance of the gluten tends to gradually rise and then decline along with the prolongation of the freezing storage time. If the raw dough is directly frozen to be shaped at one time, the aging degree of the dough gluten is accelerated, and the dough is also promoted to be frozen and cracked.
For this reason, this application adopts instantaneous intermittent type method to freeze and stores to complete solidification, can freeze earlier and stereotype on the top layer of blank dough when freezing for the first time, utilizes blank dough self to form the inlayer locking that the casing realized the carbon dioxide, guarantees the integrity of blank dough, and the rethread reduces to freeze and stores the time and effectively slow down the gluten ageing, reduces its inside carbon dioxide's expend with heat and contract with cold degree when the dough freezes to store simultaneously, guarantees the integrity of dough. Furthermore, during the instant batch freezing, the gluten is subjected to relatively less mechanical damage and higher water retention, which may be that the ice crystals and recrystallizations in the dough have not yet fully formed, thereby effectively reducing the modification of gluten in the dough by the freezing temperature.
According to the method, the surface of the frozen dough is coated with the alkaline water in a spraying mode, the problem that the existing soaking method needs to completely soak the dough into the alkaline water, the temperature of the alkaline water is higher than that of the frozen dough, and if the frozen dough is directly and completely soaked into the alkaline water, the alkaline water can damage the solidification form of the frozen dough to a certain extent, so that the taste of the alkaline bread is influenced; the spraying mode can be used for coating the surface of the frozen dough in a small amount and uniformly, and the influence of alkaline water on the shape of the frozen dough is effectively reduced.
The quick-frozen alkali bread has a taste similar to that of field baking after being baked in a store, probably because gluten in the baked bread before freezing finishes denaturation and shaping, the condition that the dough is aged due to low temperature can be effectively relieved, and the loose bread structure can be kept after freezing, so that the alkali bread can be conveniently stored and transported.
In conclusion, after the instant soda water bread is sequentially subjected to standing relaxation and proofing, the instant intermittent freezing-spraying-baking-freezing mode is adopted, the quick-frozen soda water bread convenient for cold chain transportation can be prepared, the quick-frozen soda water bread has a soft taste when being baked in a store on site, the quality guarantee period of the soda water bread can be prolonged due to the quick-freezing characteristic, and the batch production of the soda water bread in a manufacturing workshop is facilitated.

By adopting the technical scheme, the freezing storage temperature and the freezing storage time can directly influence the mechanical property and the permeability of the mucedin, and accordingly, the dough is placed in a freezer with the temperature of less than or equal to-35 ℃ for freezing storage for 60-100s twice, the surface of the dough is shaped before freezing storage, and the dough is very easy to freeze and crack due to the shrinkage of carbon dioxide in the dough if the dough is directly frozen. However, when the freezing temperature of less than or equal to-35 ℃ is used, the freezing rate of the dough is faster and tends to be stable, so that the freezing time is effectively shortened, and the dough aging and dehydration are slowed down. The dough is taken out and placed at room temperature, a protective layer is formed on the surface of the dough when white frost is separated out, the structural strength of the surface of the dough is further increased, the dough is prevented from being frozen and cracked during subsequent refrigeration, and therefore the soda bread with complete appearance and high freshness is prepared.

Comparative example
Comparative example 1
This comparative example was based on the method of example 1 and the instantaneous batch freezing of step four was replaced by direct freezing of the green dough in a freezer at-35 ℃ until complete solidification.
Comparative example 2
This comparative example is based on the method of example 1 and does not involve the step four operation of spraying alkaline water on the surface of the proofed green dough.
Comparative example 3
This comparative example was based on the method of example 1 and omitted the baking in step six and the re-freezing in step seven, and since the center temperature of the frozen dough sprayed with the alkali water in step five was not more than-3 ℃, the alkali water was directly frozen on the surface of the frozen dough, and the frozen dough was directly packaged to obtain the quick-frozen alkali bread.
Comparative example 4
This comparative example is based on the method of example 1 and eliminates the step two of resting relaxation, i.e. the dough is proofed directly after being divided into portions.
Performance test
Detection method/test method
The green dough (after proofing), the frozen dough and the quick-frozen soda bread prepared in examples 1 to 10 and comparative examples 1 to 4 were subjected to the following performance tests, and the test results are shown in the following table two.
1. Appearance of the product
Visually observing the surface of the quick-frozen soda bread for the presence or absence of frost cracking.
2. Aging resistance
Taking proofed green embryo dough as a blank control group, taking naturally thawed frozen dough as a sample, preparing test strips with the diameter of 10mm and the length of 50mm, placing the test strips on a TA-XT2i physical property tester, measuring the Tensile Strength (TS) and the elongation at break (E) of the test strips at the initial clamping distance of 30mm, and calculating the following formulas:
TS = F/S, F being the maximum tensile force (N) to which the bar is subjected at break, S being the radial cross-sectional area (m) of the bar 2 );
E=(L 1 -L 0 )/L 0 *100%,L 0 Is the length (mm) of the test strip, L 1 Length at break (mm) of the test bar;
the rate of change in tensile strength of the frozen dough = (tensile strength of green dough-tensile strength of frozen dough)/tensile strength of green dough = 100%;
elongation at break of the frozen dough = (elongation at break of the green dough-elongation at break of the frozen dough)/elongation at break of the green dough = 100%;
the aging resistance in the present application is represented by the tensile strength change rate and the elongation at break change rate, and the smaller the change rate of the both is, the better the aging resistance is.
3. Water binding capacity
Taking proofed green dough as a blank control group, taking naturally unfrozen frozen dough as a sample, performing a test according to a direct drying method in the determination of moisture in GB/T5009.3-2003 food, and determining the change rate of the moisture content of the frozen dough relative to the moisture content of the green dough, wherein the calculation formula is as follows:
the rate of change of the moisture content of the frozen dough = (moisture content of the green dough-moisture content of the frozen dough)/moisture content of the green dough = 100%.
The quick-frozen alkaline water bread frozen and stored at-3 ℃ for 0 day and thawed naturally (referred to as the quick-frozen alkaline water bread (0)) is used as a blank control group, the quick-frozen alkaline water bread frozen and stored at-3 ℃ for 6 months and thawed naturally (referred to as the quick-frozen alkaline water bread (6)) is used as a sample, and a test is performed according to a direct drying method in the measurement of the water content in the GB/T5009.3-2003 food, and the change rate of the water content of the quick-frozen alkaline water bread after frozen storage is measured, and the calculation formula is as follows:
the change rate of the water content of the quick-frozen bread (6) = [ water content of the quick-frozen bread (0) — water content of the quick-frozen bread (6) ]/water content of the quick-frozen bread (0) × 100%;
TABLE II test results of aging resistance and Water holding Properties of examples 1 to 10 and comparative examples 1 to 4
Figure DEST_PATH_IMAGE004
As can be seen from table two, compared with comparative examples 1 to 4, in example 1 of the present application, because the instantaneous batch method is not adopted for freezing in comparative example 1, the change rate of the tensile strength, the change rate of the elongation at break, the change rate of the water content of the frozen dough, and the change rate of the water content of the quick-frozen soda bread frozen at-3 ℃ for 6 months are all the same as those of the quick-frozen soda bread prepared in example 1, and the quick-frozen soda bread prepared in the later period has frost crack; in comparative example 2, no frozen dough was prepared, and therefore only the rate of change of the moisture content of the quick-frozen soda bread was measured, but the rate of change of the moisture content of the quick-frozen soda bread of example 1 was significantly lower than that of comparative example 2; in addition, comparative example 3 is the same as the frozen dough of example 1, but the quick-frozen soda bread of comparative example 3 has a significantly higher rate of change in moisture content after 6 months of frozen storage at-3 ℃ than example 1; the change rate of tensile strength, the change rate of elongation at break and the change rate of water content of the frozen dough and the quick-frozen soda bread of the comparative example 4 are all lower than those of the example 1, so that the frozen dough prepared by the preparation method has more excellent anti-aging performance and water holding performance, and the quick-frozen soda bread prepared by the preparation method also has good water holding performance, has no frost crack on the surface and has complete appearance.
Examples 2-5 were prepared by adjusting the freezing step of the green dough in step four of the preparation method based on the method of example 1. According to the combined detection result, the method sets that the raw dough is placed in a freezer with the temperature of less than or equal to minus 35 ℃ and is frozen for 60 to 100 seconds, then the raw dough is taken out, the raw dough is placed in a room temperature until white frost is separated out on the surface of the raw dough, a layer of water is uniformly coated on the surface of the raw dough, and the raw dough is continuously placed in the freezer with the temperature of less than or equal to minus 35 ℃ and is frozen for 60 to 100 seconds, the change rate of the tensile strength and the change rate of the elongation at break of the prepared frozen dough are smaller than those of the frozen dough prepared in other freezing steps (examples 4 to 5), and the change rate of the water content of the frozen dough and the quick-frozen soda bread is lower, so that the frozen dough with more excellent ageing resistance and water retention can be obtained in the freezing steps, and the quick-frozen soda bread with excellent water retention performance can be further obtained. Among them, embodiment 1 is a preferred embodiment.
Example 6 is a method of example 1, wherein the warm water (32 ℃) at the first step of the preparation method is changed to cold water (10 ℃) to prepare a dough having a center temperature of 10 ℃. According to the combination of the detection results, when the initial dough is controlled at the proper temperature (16-26 ℃), the frozen dough with more outstanding anti-aging performance and water retention performance can be obtained. This is probably due to the fact that the initial dough at this temperature is more favorable for the yeast to quickly adapt to the environment, improves the leavening effect of the dough, and improves the internal structure of the dough to achieve good aging resistance and water retention.
Examples 7-8 the proofing parameters of step three of the preparation method were adjusted based on the method of example 1. According to the detection results, when the proofing temperature is controlled to be 33-35 ℃, the proofing humidity is controlled to be 75-99% and the proofing time is controlled to be 50-70min (example 1), the obtained frozen dough has more outstanding aging resistance and water retention property. Since yeast fermentation is susceptible to external conditions, the fermentation conditions need to be controlled.
Examples 9-10 were prepared by adjusting the baking parameters of step six of the preparation method based on the method of example 1. According to the detection result, when the baking temperature is controlled to be 191-202 ℃ and the baking time is controlled to be 13-15min (example 1), the water holding performance of the prepared quick-frozen soda bread is improved to a certain extent. The baking effect of the frozen dough can be influenced due to the fact that the temperature is too low or too high, if the baking temperature is high, the baking time needs to be correspondingly shortened, if the baking temperature is low, the baking time needs to be correspondingly prolonged, and the situation that the surface layer is coked but the inside is not baked easily occurs in both the baking temperature and the baking time; the present application therefore uses the above temperatures for baking so that the frozen dough has sufficient buffering time to thaw and complete the baking.
In view of the above aging resistance and water retention, example 1 is a preferred example.
3. Sensory evaluation
And (3) feeding the quick-frozen bread frozen at-3 ℃ for 6 months into an oven for heating, wherein the heating temperature is 220 ℃, the heating time is 8min, the prepared bread is taken as a sample, 100 healthy people of 18-35 years old in the same area are randomly selected as volunteers and averagely divided into 10 groups, and sensory evaluation is carried out in a sensory evaluation room according to the scoring standard in the third table, and the sensory evaluation result is shown in the fourth table.
